POMPANO BEACH — A man was arrested on charges of kidnapping and raping a 22-year-old woman Wednesday.

Police said James Michael Ferguson was arrested and charged with sexual battery and kidnapping after he took a Pompano Beach woman from her apartment at knifepoint to his apartment in the 2000 block of Northwest Fourth Avenue and raped her.

Police said she later fled to an apartment across the street where she called the police.

Meanwhile, Ferguson punched an apartment manager who refused to reveal information about her whereabouts, and slammed him against the wall, police said.
